General Sickles on the Veto.

General Sickles has sent the follow
ing letter to the President
No. 20 FIFTH AVENUE, New YORK.
Feb. 10, 1887.
MY DEAR PRESIDENT CLEVELAND
Referring to our conversation on Satur-
day last about the Pension bill have
the honor now to confirm by this brief
note what i then said commencing
your action in disappearing that unwise
measure. The Pension laws are no W
broad and liberal. If it be necessary
to enlarge the national homes" for
invalid soldiers not entitled to pensions
let that be done But | am persuaded
the bill you have vetoed was not de-
sired by the soldiers of this country.
| have never been asked to write
to anybody in Washington in
favor of it, although receive many
such requests from soldiers whenever
they are in favor Of legislation at Wash.
ington or Albany.
Again | commend the courage and
wisdom Of your action, and as a soldier
/ thank you for maintaining the honor
of the pension roll, for so long as it is
confined to those who are disabled by
service it is a roll of honor
Very respectfully ID. SIcKLEs.
